Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, and Google discussed stopping privacy efforts

It has been definitively admitted. This is a big tech cartel.

So all of this 'We value your privacy' statements and 'building products that respect your privacy' was all marketing BS?

SURPRISE! /s

At this point it is an expectation for them to violate your privacy and create a round table discussion with other companies to find ways to not get caught.

No, it hasn’t. The thread said that Apple was in the talks somehow, but didn’t say what they were discussing or what Apple wanted or was willing to do. Apple didn’t admit anything here.

That was the oddest part of the selected tweet used by OP. There are dozens of great points from same source outlining all of the incredibly hinkey and downright illegal collusion between Google and Facebook, but the inclusion of Apple has no references and Microsoft is almost a random aside in the looooong sequence of tweets about the ad market fixing by the two main companies in this scheme.
